Nigeria is one of the countries where the female gender has not been able to make visible and valuable contributions to nation-building on equal pedestal with the male gender. The 35% affirmative action on women is yet to be realized in Nigeria. It grew worse during this 2011 April elections in Nigeria. This paper therefore, highlights the major causes of female gender’s disparity with their male counterparts as cultural, religious and the impact of the British Colonial Government on Nigeria. The paper traces the way the British Female gender broke the barriers in Britain through the potent weapon of education & then highlights the importance of formal and informal education to the female gender in Nigeria. The paper also trace some notable Nigerian women who broke the barriers through the acquisition of traditional and western education. Women like Mrs. Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, Mrs. Margaret Ekpo, Mallama Gambo Sawabo, Mrs. Ngozi Iweala, Professor Dora Akinyuli, Hon. Abike Dabiri-Arewa and others are mentioned. The conclusive part of the paper states that the importance of education to nation-building cannot be underestimated and it is very immeasurable especially when it is given to women, who are naturally nation-builders. Suggestions are made on how the government, the parents and the female themselves can make education available to the female gender so as to remove all the inhibitions, prohibitions and restrictions from every aspects of her life so that she can make a meaningful contribution to the building of her nation.
